  When i went to the ASLC POP last month, i saw a guards LTC with a Special Forces badge on the right breast pocket of his no.5 uniform. The badge is rather small, and its shaped like the guards tab. Anyone knows how he was awarded that badge? Does it mean that he is/was from SOF?

  SWO Gunga?
  
  The spec for badge is probably the US SF badge and I think overseas trainees are awarded the badge after passing the US SF "Q" course.
